waltervdbus | Straight From The Heart (original) - Ian Lloyd 1980.wmv @waltervdbus | Uploaded 12 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Written by Bryan Adams, but not recorded by him before 1983 on Cuts Like A Knife. This version was first released by Ian Lloyd on 1980 album 3WC (Third Wave Civilization).
Adams told Songfacts: "I wrote it when I was 18 and it was one of the first complete songs I'd ever written. I'd been living in Vancouver and teaching myself piano and this came out. Sometime after I had written the song, my friend Bruce Fairbairn was producing an album for an artist called Ian Lloyd, and wanted the song for him. the song went on to be recorded by many people including Bonnie Tyler (on her blockbuster album Faster Than the Speed of Night), and I didn't actually record "Straight From The Heart" until 1983 for my Cuts Like A Knife album. It was my first Top 10 record."
